    • Running

On episode 103 we welcome Yuki Chorney (00:13:04) to the On The Runs Podcast. Yuki, a passionate runner and costume enthusiast, shares her running journey and experiences in this episode. She started running races in 1996 and has since completed in 500 races, including marathons and ultra marathons. Yuki's love for running was influenced by her parents, who were avid runners themselves. She recalls her first big race, the Apple Fest half marathon, where her father planted the seed for her to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Yuki's dedication and training paid off, and she qualified for Boston in her first marathon. She shares her experiences of running races with her husband, Eric, and the challenges she faced along the way. Yuki shares her experiences running the Boston Marathon with her dad and her passion for creating elaborate costumes for races. She started running with her dad in the 1998 Boston Marathon and was inspired by the atmosphere and the challenge of the race. She took a break from marathons when she had children but eventually got back into running and started dressing up in costumes. Her costume design started with Girls on the Run, where she wanted to make running fun for the kids. She gradually started wearing costumes for other races as well, putting in a lot of time and effort to create elaborate and functional designs. Yuki's costumes often involve rhinestones and glitter, which can be time-consuming and messy to work with. She also spends a lot of time on makeup and face gems to complete her looks. Despite the challenges, Yuki's costumes have become a signature part of her running identity. Yuki also discusses her participation in ultra marathons and the unique experiences she has had in those races.  Yuki reflects on the attention she has received from the media and how she embraces it as a way to bring joy and inspiration to others. Yuki shares a hilarious and embarrassing story about a Code Brown moment during a marathon. She also talks about her favorite Boston Marathon experience in 2014 and the incredible atmosphere of unity and resilience. Yuki dosn't reveal her costume idea for the upcoming Boston Marathon, but she shares an insider story of creating the costume and the mishap she had with her wristlets on last years costume. This is a can't miss episode with Yuki Chorney.

During the Tros,  Knute and Erika discuss their recent activities, including running, skiing, and watching the eclipse. They also tease that on Thursday's episode they will reveal the name of their podcast mascot. Thank You for listening!
